Blood Trickling Down

Badgerstep smiled, letting some of the fire in his belly cool. "I love you, too," he murmured, touching his nose to her ear. "And I'll always be here for you. I just never thought Foxstar would be the enemy." His amber eyes narrowed again, watching the creamy she-cat wash away the blood. She never should have had to feel another cat's claws. Never should have felt pain.

The warrior looked at the wound. "Should we go to your den? I can get you some cobwebs, maybe some marigold?" His experience with herbs wasn't a lot, but he was pretty sure he knew what to do with the couple he had mentioned.

"No, just say here, we are finally alone." she licked his cheek again, purring. "I don't want this moment to ever end."

((Sorry 'bout the short post))

Say You'll Share With Me One Love, One Lifetime

The warrior's eyes became soft, and he let out a sigh. "Yeah, alright. But lay down at least." He brushed his tail along her flank before he did so himself. "It is nice just to have a few moments to ourselves, without other cats poking around." Badgerstep gave her cheek a few more rhythmic licks, liking the smell of her fur next him, even though it was muddled with the slight reek of fresh blood.

Moonspirit tucked her head under her belly, so she could cuddle up to him without getting any blood on him. She embraced his scent and she purred softly, "When can we find our own time? Tomorrow, meet me in the crooked creek." she said, then got up and scurried from the den to her own.

Let Me Go, Too

Badgerstep blinked in surprise as Moonspirit stood quickly and headed back toward her own den. That was odd. He had been enjoying their little moment together, and the suddenness of her leave made him stare. But they had a meeting time and place; tomorrow, at the creek. The warrior smiled. It was a good idea. They'd be alone there, able to relax together without fear of intrusion. The black and white warrior rose to him paws and took the path toward his own nest in the warriors den with happiness in his step. For the moment, he could forget about Foxstar or what she'd done. All that mattered was tomorrow, and the sooner he fell asleep, the better.

Swiftfire left like she was told with a dip of her head. She then signaled Moonspirit to go into the den. The she-cat waited with Badgerstep and was surprised by his rushing in.

Her ears perked up as she got up to see what was wrong. Before she could go inside, she saw Foxstar come out. Her leader then sat down a few feet from her. Swiftfire studied the she-cat until she saw bloodied claws unsheathed. A gasp escaped her.

Immediately her fur rose and her hackles raised. "You attacked our Medicine cat!," she spat in disbelief.

[Deleted]

Nightclaw came racing over to Swiftfire and then looked to Foxstar oh she had gone to far...His claws unsheathed and his eyes turned to slits. The big black tom came up to where he was on even level as Foxstar. His eyes glared at her and his fangs bared "What have.. you done! You have gone against every cat in this Clan Foxstar, yes I may have helped out with letting Riverclan know about the battle but it was for the good of the Clan...Starclan I bet shall not give you your lives because of what you have done to us...its your turn to pay.." he spat to their leader pouncing claws outstretched as he tried to bowl her over if done successful he would pin her.

[Deleted]

Moonspirit rushed over, "No! Nightclaw! Foxstar did not attack me! I... I tripped and fell, I hit my head on the wall, I think it is a sign from StarClan..." she mewed, lying of coarse so Foxstar wouldn't get her head ripped off by her own Warriors, "And even if you did you would be just as bad as Foxstar, she is like Miraclefur-blamed for an accident and then idiotic Warriors wanting to kill because of one injury!" she hissed.

[Deleted]

Nightclaw was still in attack mode "I don't believe that rubbish! She has blood on her claws!" he hissed as he lept.

Lying Through Teeth

Badgerstep hadn't yet reached the warriors den when the new screeches and protests broke out. Fearing for Moonspirit, the black and white tom wiped around and took three bounds back before realizing that it was not his mate that was in pain, but that two other warriors had guessed at what had happened. Good, he thought with a snarl. Foxstar deserves for her warriors to see what she's done.

But he hadn't been expecting Moonspirit to defend the leader who'd attacked her. His eyes narrowed. What would be keeping her from telling the truth? Did she really have loyalty ties to that flea-bag excuse for a leader? The warrior's tail lashed out behind him angrily, but he decided that to go along with what the cream-colored medicine cat's words. He stepped up near the gathering cats and flicked an ear. "Moonspirit's right. Foxstar only has blood on her claws because she accidently stepped in it. No foul play happened here." As he spoke, Badgerstep kept wanting to glance over at Moonspirit, worried the wound was clouding her thoughts.

[Deleted]

Moonspirit exchanged a glance with Badgerstep, she would have to explain everything she knew. But the clan was stronger with a leader, who would be leader if she died?! There was no Deputy!

[Deleted]

Swiftfire lashed her tail as she nodded to Nightclaw as the tom ran over. Her eyes widened as the tom pounced on Foxstar. Then Moonspirit told him to stop as Swiftfire watched the two fighting. Badgerstep ran over and said the same things.

Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. She looked at Moonspirit's wound and cocked her head. It could be a sign of Starclan since it was almost the same markings the apprentice had gotten, but then again... Another look at Foxstar's bloody claws confirmed the two were lying. Swiftfire saw a patch of Moonspirit's hair patruding from between the claws. She kept up the act though.

She walked over to Nightclaw and nudged him off of Foxstar, her tail on his haunches. Worry swam in her eyes at how Nightclaw had just spilled out that he had been part of the Riverclan thing.

"Why were you two yelling at each other so loudly then?" Her voice taunted the three while looking at each in turn.

You Know Nothing

Badgerstep had to force his neck fur to stay down. He narrowed his eyes, as if trying to will Swiftfire to believe their story. The black and white tom knew that it wasn't very believable, but what other choice did they have? Well, he personally didn't even know why they were covering for their treacherous leader, but Moonspirit seemed to believe that it was the right thing to do in this situation, so he would go with it for now.

"You must have heard wrong," the warrior mewed calmly, a bit of ice hanging in his mew. "Those weren't yowls of anger, just ones of surprise and worry. You would have done the same if you'd seen your medicine cat suddenly bleeding from the head. And besides..." The tom's tail-tip flicked behind him. "Why would you suspect her of lying? Moonspirit would never do something like that if it was serious."

[Deleted]

FoxStar got bowled over, but to even her surprise, she didn't fight back. She felt the claws scorch upon her fur and flesh, letting out a yip here and there, but when SwiftFire got NightClaw off, FoxStar sat up.

She growled, tail lashing.

"MoonSpirit and BadgerStep, stop. Stop the lying."

She looked at NightClaw and SwiftFire, in a challenging way.

"Yes, I did attack her. I did smack her. Want to know why? Too bad, that is between me and MoonSpirit. It is none of your business."

She looked back at NightClaw, and stood up on her back paws, front paws outstretched and clawing the air, blood tinted claws unsheathed.

"Dare to fight me again? This time I will fight back, and be like a fox! Just how I look!"

Her blue eyes stared down at him, glaring, and in a taunting way. She was not kidding this time, she would attack back.

Nightclaw looked up to her an laughed "Oh your very funny foxy! We all know that your senses are going your sight not to well what makes you think I couldn't handle a leader with out her lives?" he asked more seriously. He studied her "Plus you just admitted to attacking our medicine cat who if had been servilely injured more than this might not have been able to help us if we got injured so by attacking her you also affected us...YOUR Clan..I sit here before you now and ask what were you thinking? What in Starclans name ARE you thinking?" he mewed.
